if anyone knows any method to force/install/ota, pls :)
[Moto 360] jetstreamblue:
Just got my 6.0.1 update for my 1st Gen as well! I'm most interested to see how battery life goes... It has been dismal lately...
[Moto 360] tcrews:
Just got 6.0.1 this morning on my 1st Gen Moto 360, just completed installing and updating apps.....
[Moto 360] albie999:
Look forward to your thoughts. No way of forcing the update?

I keep checking, but showing no upate
[Moto 360] tcrews:
I never checked. I grabbed my watch off the charger this morning, strapped it on and noticed a message of some sort. Was in a hurry so didn't bother checking out the notification. Once I was at work and had a few minutes I checked the forums and saw this thread and it reminded me to check my watch....and it was the "A system update has been downloaded, make sure you are at 80% charge......."
[Moto 360] atembleque:
Mine is downloading, I've tested several times on menu/update with no success, only when I switched on the wifi it started to download
[Moto 360] TriguyRN:
Just got mine.
[Moto 360] Puckettonline:
I just connected it to WIFI but no luck when i go into setting and check for updates. I have a US MOTO 360 Gen 1
[Moto 360] albie999:
I've done the same. Presume will just have to wait and see
[Moto 360] Puckettonline:
Yeah, I also have it charging too. I just found out something weird. You go into the watch setting and connect to the wifi. but once you exit and re-enter the wifi setting it shows it reconnects and automatically reconnects.

Is it automatically disconnecting when i exit or does it always do that and it stays connected to the WIFI but just shows that message.
[Moto 360] swimmer21nk:
You must turn off the bluetooth so the Moto 360 can establish a wifi connection.. That's why it disconnects when you leave settings.

Also if there is a wifi connection you can see a wifi symbol near battery %
[Moto 360] atembleque:
Same here, I don't know the answer. Update still downloading two hours after, and it's about 70%, very slow. And I have to leave this wifi in 30 minutes (I'm at my job now), so maybe it finishes tonight at my home...
[Moto 360] swimmer21nk:
CLOSE THE BLUETOOTH.. there is no wifi connection if bluetooth is ON! It is slow because it downloads the update via bluetooth
[Moto 360] Puckettonline:
Update

How do you know the percentage? Bluetooth or wifi i can't see anything

I put it in airplane mode and turn on wifi

when i go to setting < About < system update

it still shows me that it's up to date
[Moto 360] atembleque:
Yes. You are right. After disconnect bluetooth from phone the update finished in about 30 seconds! Awesome

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

I don't know the exact percentage, but you can see a green circle around the update in the clock
[Moto 360] Astrubale:
Is there any way to flash the update with adb?
[Moto 360] jboxer:
If you make a usb cable and you can get the system file and bootimg file from someone that already received the you can flash in in fastboot using adb.
[Moto 360] thanhtuan1611:
Do everything, and have nothing =="

Just the only way, waiting...
[Moto 360] ZetaLau:
you need a cable to flash it

the adb over bluetooth is read only
[Moto 360] Astrubale:
If I install in the watch a one click root app, and then with a app flash a zip, can it work?
[Moto 360] ZetaLau:
i dont think so

how can you send the root app to watch ?
[Moto 360] jboxer:
By magic.
[Moto 360] Astrubale:
You can install app via adb bluetooth... and I can install the root app. Isn't it?
[Moto 360] ZetaLau:
with cable ?
[Moto 360] Astrubale:
No/Yes, the cable is used from PC to the phone.
[Moto 360] :
I tried your method , it didn't work for me.. Thanks anyways
[Moto 360] ZetaLau:
not,

is connecting the watch and pc
[Moto 360] Astrubale:
I can install the app on the watch with the phone connected to the PC "adb -e install *apk*"

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

And I can try using the one click root app. No?
[Moto 360] jboxer:
Not correct. You need to make a special cable that goes from the PC to the watch, not the phone.
[Moto 360] Astrubale:
No, I installed few app in my moto 360 with out a cable (PC - watch).
[Moto 360] jboxer:
Installing an app is not the same as flashing bootloader and system image using fastboot. It requires a usb cable connection to the watch itself.
[Moto 360] Astrubale:
But I can flash a zip using in app flashing.
[Moto 360] ConTejas2:
I've had the MM update for a while now and while the battery life has improve (mine WAS great already) the UI/X is now a bit laggy. Actually, it's only when I wake the screen. It's black and white for a split second before it correct to its proper colors. It is quicker generally moving around, and the new gestures are helpful, but that split second drives me nuts. So, be careful what you wish for. I'd rather be on 5.1.1.
[Moto 360] jboxer:
My brother is annoyed by that issue also. My watch is still on 5.1.1.
[Moto 360] supertoast92:
Sounds like it's showing the ambient display mode before switching to normal display mode. I haven't been able to see for myself yet, still waiting on mine to pick up on the update.
[Moto 360] MelquiXDA:
Looks like this feature is for save battery, to force the watch face mantain this "ambient display mode" in background. But the user should not notice it... Google failure...
[Moto 360] speedme:
Is there a video on YouTube about this ambient screen wakeup issue? Because I honestly don't think I have it...

But I have to say that I always have my screen off and it only wakes up when I have a notification

Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G900F met Tapatalk
[Moto 360] ConTejas2:
You would certainly notice if you did have the issue. I never use ambient mode. I use it the same as you do. It seems less noticeable with ambient mode on (just tried it). The screen is still turning completely black like it's off/not in ambient mode. That's not right, is it? It's been forever since I used it but to my knowledge the screen just dimmed and never shut off/turn black.
[Moto 360] GuyInDogSuit:
So I took my watch dock and cable and went to the library to use their Wi-Fi and see if the update would download. Still nothing. :(
[Moto 360] jboxer:
I am in Thailand. This morning when I took my watch off the charging base it notified me that it had already downloaded the update. I could not dismiss the notification (it is a pesistent bugger) so I went ahead and told it to update. Waiting for watch to reboot.I guess the rollout is extremely slow on this update. While I was typing this the watch rebooted twice. Now syncing apps. Installs the update pretty fast.
[Moto 360] ZetaLau:
Congrate,

you have waited a long long time,

enjoy the android m~
[Moto 360] burgudoy:
what a nice morning!

Last night I've factory reset my watch and also did "forget watch" on my phone.

I've connected it to wifi and just left it on the cradle overnight.

When I woke up this morning, there's an update notification on my watch. Finally!

Either the factory reset method really worked, or Google is continuing to roll out updates again!

Hope you get your updates soon as well!
[Moto 360] thanhtuan1611:
I received the update this moning
[Moto 360] GuyInDogSuit:
OK, for anyone who has gotten the update recently, did you do anything special? It looks like at least two of you didn't.
[Moto 360] burgudoy:
Basically, what I did last night was:

1. Factory reset watch

2. Forget watch on phone

Note: Oh at this point, I forgot to mention that I've uninstalled/reinstalled Google on my phone. Dunno if there's an effect but I'm mentioning everything I did for everyone's reference.

3. Reconnect watch to phone and finish setup (after this, there's still no update).

4. Connect watch to WiFi and leave on the cradle charger overnight.

5. Voila! Watch shows a notification next morning that an update has been downloaded and ready to install.
[Moto 360] gpmg762:
Got it this morning, no intervention.
[Moto 360] jboxer:
Nope. Put the 360 to bed and when I grabbed it to put it on it said that the update had already been downloaded and wanted to install it. I was going to wait but there is no way to dismiss the update notification so I went ahead and let it update.
[Moto 360] GuyInDogSuit:
Bummer, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get the update without Wi-Fi here. I tried it at the library, but no go.
[Moto 360] drewski_1:
i have it on both the Moto 360 & LG G Watch with 6.0.1. It's a fraction of a second and doesn't really bother me at all, but, as you can see, everyone's different :D

I've never put something on YouTube, but will give it a try.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

i don't see how this split second of Ambient will save much, or are you saying it's still has the Ambient in memory, but with the screen off?

---------- Post added at 11:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

Here's a video of my G Watch waking up when i turn my wrist up. Pretty much the same as on the 360

Moto 360 video - snappier than i remembered and faster than on the G Watch

https://youtu.be/chCgJ4wu2h8
[Moto 360] thanhtuan1611:
Me too. When I wake it up, it shows immediately, not has "black and white for a split second"
[Moto 360] jboxer:
Mine did not have it but the compass was not working on the watch face I like so I deleted it and reinstalled it. After that I also had the ambient screen issue even though ambient screen is turned off. After reinstalling the compass still does not work. It worked before the update.
[Moto 360] speedme:
I see indeed the brief delay, but I also see that you are using gesture to wake the watch.

I am not using any gestures at all, just the fysical button to wake up my watch.

Can you try to disable gestures and use the power button to wake your watch ? And see if that causes a delay ?
[Moto 360] allroy75:
Well I finally got my update last night when I went to charge my watch. Took a while but it finally downloaded and installed. Trying to get used to the new wrist gestures
[Moto 360] drewski_1:
Power Button On is pretty much the same as the gesture delay.

It looks like the Ambient dial renders first and then a split second later the regular dial overlays on that.
[Moto 360] GuyInDogSuit:
My watch does that already and it's still on 5.1.1.
[Moto 360] jboxer:
But now it does it with ambient mode turned off. Before it only did if ambient mode was turned on.
[Moto 360] NoAngel777:
Got OTA this morning. Yesterday evening I checked for update via settings, but it was "already latest version". But this morning I checked settings again and it became "charge device to download update" (I dont charge overnight).

After charging to 100%, it became "are You want to download update?", -> yes -> it started download slowly. I turned off Bluetooth on phone, watch switched to Wifi, showed error download -> retry, download became faster.

Finally done, then charged again for >= 80% to enable apply update. Then "restart to apply update". Now it shows 6.0.1, works good. Feels about the same as 5.1.1, animation is smooth enough. Was fine before update and still good now, don't know what became better, I don't see any significant changes now. Fortunately update succeeded, and bootloader seems to be fine. YMMV, update is always risk to get brick.

You don't need to do something special to force update, it will appear to You some day.
[Moto 360] jboxer:
New gestures, new permission settings and can set time/date independent of the watch it is paired to.
[Moto 360] James L:
Just checked my Moto 360 Gen 1 after reading through the thread and got the update notification when i checked.

I tried the factory reset etc. When the update first rolled out. It did nothing for me. Charging my watch now so i can get the update.

I hope it's worth it.
[Moto 360] jboxer:
Glad you finally got it. Not much different. Annoying ambient issue.
[Moto 360] redbullman:
I got mine in the UK a few days ago by following a poster earlier in the thread (fake GPS location in USA). I reset the device immediately after update. Its definitely a lot smoother when swiping and less laggy. Not sure If you guys realised but google messenger now has its own wear app on marshmallow (like hangouts) which is cool.
[Moto 360] alryder:
My watch was updated while it was charging last night, it didn't even prompt to install the update. I only noticed it because I got a notification from Wear App Manager that Google Play services had been updated to 8.7.02. I then checked Wear Battery Manager to see how my battery was doing and noticed that instead of the usual 2. 2- 2.4% per hour the watch was discharging at 4.94% per hour. When I went into settings to restart the watch there was no longer a Restart option but there is a new Permissions option. When I checked about I'm now running MEC23I with the following:

Android Wear 1.4.0.2580363

Google Play services: 8.7.0.2

Android OS 6.0.1

I'm not experiencing the ambient issue that others have mentioned but besides the missing Restart option I'm also missing the Factory Reset option. Has anyone else seen this or is there a new way to perform a factory reset with 6.0.1?

Edit: I thought that the factory reset option might have been missing because my watch battery was below 80% but even after a full charge there is not a factory reset option. Any ideas?
[Moto 360] GoldPunch:
I got update today without any forcing.

From Turkey
[Moto 360] GuyInDogSuit:
I don't understand this. I've waited, I've factory reset, and I still haven't gotten the update. This is BS.

EDIT: I finally got it! After it completed syncing, I checked for updates and it started downloading! Yayyyyyyyy!
[Moto 360] drms12:
To factory reset, use the "Unpair with phone" option in the settings.
[Moto 360] lgiang94:
factory reset and when synching apps i hold the power button to get to setting and check update. it dowload :D wait 1 hour and update to 6.0.1 . After 1 factory and one reset every thing work fine and smooth. I think 6.0.1 is better than Lollipop :D
[Moto 360] Nomad1600:
In Houston, TX area in USA, 1st gen watch, no update yet. Tried unpairing and pairing, connecting watch to wifi, haven't tried Factory reset of watch. Two questions: what happens to watch during Factory Rest (do I lose anything or does anything need to be backed up?). And are my current settings (5.1.1) most up to date: Android Wear 1.3.0.2166028, Google Play 8.4.89, Build LCA44B?

I can keep waiting, but it does seem that its been a while since the updates started coming out.
[Moto 360] jboxer:
You don't lose anything per se, but you have to resync the watch with your phone which can take up to 30 minutes depending on how many apps were installed. Just a big waste of time if you still don't get the update. If you want to do unpair bluetooth, unpair watch with android wear and then factory reset the watch in the watch's settings menu. Then follow the instructions on the watch to reconnect to phone's bluetooth and resync everything.
[Moto 360] Ozark_8125:
I'm in Springfield, MO and I had to factory reset 4-5 times before it triggered the update. I would take the suggestions from the folks though and get the wifi setup w/ bluetooth off because it takes forever.
[Moto 360] Nomad1600:
I just got it. And i must have a fast wifi and small number of apps because the update seemed pretty quick.
[Moto 360] alryder:
Thanks, I'll give this a try.
[Moto 360] carlosraf20:
I just updated mine the factory reset work for me, One issue that I found is the screen doesn't stay in theater mode when charging like it use to.

Does anybody else have this issue ?
[Moto 360] baciany:
Got 6.0.1 this morning. Works nice but i have few problems:

1. When i put the Watch on charger it should Turn on CLock and Charging percentage and then dimm. When i press creen it should get brighter BUT:

When i put it on charger it show clock, percentage then gets black for second and show it agan but not DIMMED, even brighter. When i press the screen the screen gets dimmed and after 3 secons again gets black and back to light ;] Also when i try to Turn off the screen with the Ambient screen trick it gets black and after few mins its still BLACK but light is on...

2. I use Ambient Screen OFF. When i move my wrist it should show me the clock in 1 second. It was in 5.1.1. Now first i can see lock which look like Ambien screen verssion (without seconds etc) and then the real clock... Strange,,,
[Moto 360] wulfie66:
have you reset your watch after installing the 6.01 update?
[Moto 360] baciany:
Nope just updated. I try to reset today but need to charge first.
[Moto 360] karlmf:
Received 6.0.1 this afternoon. The update went smoothly. Too soon to tell about the new features. Hopefully, it just works. Moto 360 1st generation. NE Iowa.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
Stupid 360 woke me up at 3:30 AM this morning when it decided to update on its own. It was sitting in the charger, woke me up because of the vibrating, then noticed the bright white screen. At that point it was at 2 of 5 in the update process. No idea why I never saw a prompt and why it decided it was all good at 3:30 AM to update.
[Moto 360] alryder:
Confirmed that using the "Unpair with phone" option does a factory reset of the watch.
[Moto 360] vadonald:
Yeah, I tried that to see if it fixed the issue where the ambient mode appears before the full watchface, it didn't :(

[Moto 360] Puckettonline:
How do you start the update? I been connected to bluetooth for hours and wifi for like a hour.

Still tells me i'm up to date no sign of anything updating in the background
[Moto 360] atembleque:
The only thing I did was switch on wifi om the clock and check update, and it works
[Moto 360] albie999:
So, for those lucky people wHo have had the update, first impressions .... is there any lag or anything?
[Moto 360] atembleque:
All working ok here, flawlessly. One good thing is tje new permissions, I can now switch off sensors for moto body
[Moto 360] albie999:
Oohh ... so no needlesly having moto body and Google fit runnin .... that should save a little more battery
[Moto 360] atembleque:
I hope so, I didn't see again the green light of the back sensor. But mine always have two days of battery (without tilt, ambient, brightness to one and fit disabled)
[Moto 360] albie999:
I actually have mine taking heart rate every 15 mins, but with it using Google fit. Always wondered if moto body was always running in background as no actual disable option for it
[Moto 360] Puckettonline:
Ugh, Guess i'm out of luck
[Moto 360] fabiaan19:
hey guys, any chances to force the update?
[Moto 360] ast11:
The new "go back" gesture will definitely cause a few to punch themselves in the face...
[Moto 360] Lenks:
I got the update to. My watch was on the charger and in the morning i just check it and there was the notification. So i just update it.
[Moto 360] albie999:
Snap, mine has done the same. So far, no lag, nice and quick, although battery .. will have to see on that one, as it is 50% now after the update and playing around with it :) ... will see over next few days
[Moto 360] alecore:
i have one small question : if i update my watch to marshmallow ,it will work with a device using lollipop ?
[Moto 360] albie999:
Yep, I have lollipop on my LG G3 and working superbly
[Moto 360] alecore:
great. thanks ,i can't wait to get my watch done
[Moto 360] drms12:
Will you share a location coordinates?
[Moto 360] chaco81:
i had to reset my watch to use it with my new 6P and after pairing, it prompted for update when i checked.

Now my Moto 360 v1 has 6.0.1!! woohoo
[Moto 360] galaxy s4 nutjob:
Received today
[Moto 360] stooby:
Got the update last night (in the UK). Seems to be running nice and quick with no lag etc.

I'm waiting a couple of days to see how the battery is, but so far it seems at least as good as it was on Lollipop.
[Moto 360] sosodemi:
I tried the Fake Gps apk, from Romania to London,USA, GREECE , factory restarted, repaired, deleted cache and still nothing... no update :(
[Moto 360] drms12:
Me too... Tried everything.
[Moto 360] sosodemi:
And you are from?

I don't know if it is true... I heard about pers.from london , greece and they are in EU.
[Moto 360] drms12:
Middle East. I tried some different GPS coordinates, no luck. I'll try to spoof a USA ip address, maybe this will be the solution
[Moto 360] sosodemi:
Let me know if you succeed
[Moto 360] sosodemi:
Ok,

So I triggered a update download :)

What did i do...?

(Don't know if it is important but i had Fake Gps apk set to Kentucky/USA)

1.Watch battery was above 80%

2.Andoid wear (forget watch) clear cache

3.Factory reset Moto 360

4.Pair with phone

5.When it starts to sync (ex: 1/16) hold watch button till you fill vibration.

6.Go to about>update & download will start

7.Let the sync finish.

8.After it is done (the syncing) go and configure(turn on wifi on watch, select wifi network.)

9.After the watch connected to wifi, you have to disable bluetooth from phone.

10. Check if the update , the download is working if not tick "try again" and wait!

All of this was done on the dock, charging !

Current battery percentage 67% still charging, and remember it was above 80% when i started(without taking the watch of the dock), so beware to not run out of juice in the update process !!!

I don't know what it is downloading but i hope it is 6.0.1
[Moto 360] sosodemi:
Download finished, verifying, charge your battery!
[Moto 360] drms12:
I tried that several times, but still no update.

but thanks for the help
[Moto 360] henderjr:
Ditto. I think I reset my watch three times today and twice yesterday. Oh well
[Moto 360] sosodemi:
In the middle of syncing posses to enter >about>update (you tried )?
[Moto 360] drms12:
Yes. I don't know what's the problem with my watch... it is so frustrating
[Moto 360] eemgee:
Come on guys, you will all get it in a few days without trying to force it.

Its not like there is anything wrong with lollipop.
[Moto 360] sosodemi:
After 80%
[Moto 360] kraven001:
didn't follow the forum much. got the update in romania without any "forcing" - just saw the notification (took me by surprise).
[Moto 360] Puckettonline:
I tried everything and it is updating as i type this

I just disconnected bluetooth. turn on wifi and stay on the system about screen and put it on the dock for 4 hours. i pick it up and click on check for update and it told me update is downloaded and ready to install.

[Moto 360] ThePublisher:
I heard the update was out, went to about, system updates and it said to charge to update. I'm on marshmallow now. Small differences. The biggest thing for me (I hate gestures, looking retarded flailing your arm around...) is that voice recognition when texting/searching seems to be smoother/faster. Don't know about battery yet.
